( *´꒳` )️🍶🍶🍶🍶 本日は初めての新澤醸造店の飛龍を頂きました😀 香りはあまり感じませんね🤔口当たりは、軽快でリンゴを思わせる心地よい吟醸香😘綺麗でサラリとした甘味と旨味が、パッと広がって消える😚爽やかな酸味の切れが良き👍✨ 綺麗な食中酒の様に感じました🥳

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.

I bought it because my child's name has the character for virtue in it lol. I was surprised by the color when I put it in a glass. The best thing about this product is the fact that it is made in Indonesia. I'm not sure if I've had enough, so I opened this bottle, but my face is starting to go numb 🤪 lol

Rice used is Yamadanishiki This sake has been aged for three and a half years. I had kept this sake at a friend's store when Corona first became popular, and I had lost track of the right time to go there. The other day, I finally met it. Although it was protected from ultraviolet rays, it could not withstand the severe temperature changes and had completely "aged". It was a shame, but he kept the store going strong, Thanks for saving it for us when we moved.

Japanese>English

It has just the right amount of umami and a refreshing taste. When I drink this summer limited edition sake, I truly feel that summer is good. The "kun" in "kun-drop" is a Chinese character for "earth" and "growth," meaning the earth that makes all things grow. Kun-drop" means a drop from the earth. The more I learned about the meaning, the more delicious it became. Purchased at Yellow Cherry Kappa Country.

Nagano Business Trip Part 2 Today we had another cup of Takaten sake recommended by a local senior 😋. It is a delicious sake with a gentle and delicious flavor that you will never get tired of drinking 😚👍. I had Shinshu Soba for lunch😊I love Soba, so I am very happy to find a Soba restaurant when I walk around here😍I have a medical checkup in early July, so I want to eat Soba and be healthy 🤣.

Takaten Shuzo - Cold brewed Junmai Dry Taste Rice used: Hitogokochi Polishing ratio 59 This is the second pub in Kamisuwa. I had it cold, but it also looks delicious heated. I would like to try it in a bottle 😉.

Japanese>English

Recommended by the shop, it is very soft on the palate and leaves a not sweet rice feeling and a faint bitter taste. Nagano's sake is good.

It is fragrant, refreshing and easy to drink.

It is mellower (heavier) than the Kamo Goba, but still no sweetness. But it's not too sharp or clingy.

Japanese>English

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.

This is a new series from Issen Fudo. It expresses "playfulness" and We use white koji for the preparation. It is characterized by the refreshing sweetness of the rice. The rugged image of single-mindedness and steadfastness. It's subverted in a good way.

I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten 🍶. 720ml 📌 ¥1,650 Here's the rice! First, the top clear 💕 The aroma is fruity and sweet💕💕💕 The mouthfeel is full of acidity💕💕💕 I can also taste the sweetness and umami of the rice💕💕💕 This is so good 😋😋. Next time I'll have it with nigori 💕💕 The aroma is even more fruity💕💕Yogurt? Is it the rose yeast effect 😊? The mouthfeel is even more sour, sweet and umami, this is delicious 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Today's pairing is chicken salt hot pot😊😊It is a very good sake that does not disturb the meal😊👍 Be careful not to drink too much😅

Japanese>English

Long time no post! Took me a while to drink 2 squares 🤣. I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I let it sleep in the refrigerator. The price was 1,396 yen (720ml) I'll be back soon! I love the fruity scent💕. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. It's a good sake that's easy to drink, but you can still taste the sweetness and flavor of the rice. It's a dangerous sake for someone like me who is weak in alcohol. Today's pairing is Daikon and Chicken Teriyaki. It's good as a single item, but it's also recommended as a sake for a meal. Hiyaoroshi is the best👍.

@Osawa of Sake Rice used is unknown Not fruity at all. It is not light and dry, and has aged well. The taste is a mellow type with a strong umami. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing for a Daiginjo. It is what is called "the sake of sake.

Japanese>English

I stopped by Hashimoto Sake Brewery on my way to Yamanaka Onsen last year. The store is a bit like a museum, and you can learn a lot from the easy-to-understand explanations about the rice polishing ratio and the process of making sake. I was not able to taste the sake because I was the handle keeper, but the president recommended a lot of sake and my family was getting drunk (sweat). I drank it cold, but it was still dry. When I heated it up, it became soft, mellow, and easy to drink. The color is quite amber, so the polish may be shallow. Personally, I think drinking it at room temperature or hot is the right way to go. I like to drink sweet sake cold, but I'm starting to think it would be nice to drink dry sake hot ( ˘ω˘ ).

It was delicious!

Rice used is Yamae Nishiki It is supposed to be a sake that goes well with mushrooms, but in the end I did not pair it with mushrooms. However, it has a gentle sweetness, and it was just plain delicious. It also had a mushroom-like flavor, though it was only vaguely. Bitter and astringent tastes are close to that. It's a sweet sake, juicy, but clear and elegant on the palate. It was well balanced and certainly seemed to go well with mushroom dishes.

Japanese>English

Sake from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 58 Alcohol content: 14%. 🍶I wonder if it is my imagination that I have a preconceived notion from the label that it tastes like eringi, and I enjoy having my senses bug out so much that I can no longer evaluate the taste. But in the end, it's delicious. The photorealistic mushroom picture is too good to forget for a moment. The shiitake mushrooms go on. ⛲️ "Izumi" series: 3) ［Thanks to the liquor store I sometimes go to.] ［Comparison of drinks at Shiga Izumi (2/2).

I wanted a dry, dry drink. There are days when I'm in that mood. You might say don't choose raw, but I realized it after the sake bottle came. I enjoyed it with yudofu. It fits my mood today. When I think of dry, dry sake, I think of Niigata, Hiroshima, and Kochi. I admit to disagreeing.

Japanese>English

This Sake paired well with the home made bacon we had with dinner. The flavor profile is bright with the flavor of banana and has a dry, clean finish. The dryness is mild and not overly strong.

I didn't like the dry taste that much, but it is delicious! It's crisp and refreshing, but also has a deep umami/sweetness. I like it!
